Grand Strand

The shoreline along the south since of Little Princeville, the largest and capital city, is referred to as the “Grand Strand.” The road which runs along the shore is the Schulmalecón, featuring vehicular traffic as well as a maglev train line. Schulmalecón runs the entire distance of the city limits, from the western to the eastern urban growth boundaries, with the exception of the seaport at the southwestern corner of Little Princeville. The south side of Schulmalecón is lined with high-rise apartments, condos, and hotels. The sandy shore is packed with all sorts of beach attractions. Pretty much everything you could ask for, save for surf shops selling junky trinkets on every block and of course miniature golf.  Let’s check it out.

The giant sandcastle is the tourist trap Cap’n Kirk’s Galactic Funhouse at the Beach. It has an arcade with Space Invaders and Kal-toh and many other favorites. Got any money left over? Just head next door to get a luxury yacht day cruise from Davy Jones Tours.

Davy Jones Tours has the biggest tour boats in town. And if your tour gets interrupted by krakens, you get 50% off on your next tour!

Boaty McBoatface Marina is always bustling. And fun is close by. The Dizzy Turtle Carousel is next door, as is the scenic shopping at The Outlets at Brosnan Pier.

Indoor shopping with a view is available at the Darth Mall. Darth Mall has three levels of shopping and restaurants and two levels for a casino. Be sure to visit Siths ‘R us on Level two near the food court! If the force wasn’t with you at the casino, be sure to head next door to see the sea lion show at Joey’s Dinner Theater. Don’t worry; they don’t serve the sea lions! Need to get back to nature, why not hike out to the lighthouse located on Ugottagood Point?

Another location of Cap’n Kirk’s is found right in the middle of the beach near Hasno Pier. You can fish off the pier for 10 renards an hour or 1/2 rose for the day. The feline tourists really like this attraction. You can also climb Mount Wirdlehead and enjoy the waterfalls. Just watch your step – it’s a long way down!

The east end of the Grand Strand is a little quieter. At the urban growth boundary is the floating hotel Lodges at Montevideo Place. The seaside Bandit Lincoln Theater provides a great show for a great price. Today, it’s an encore presentation of Cats. “Memmmmmmries….”

One of the ancient wonders of Planet B-612 is the Great Tower of Wiley, built many centuries ago during the reign of King Wiley Coyote IV, as a part of his defenses against the piratical band of roadrunner ships raiding seaside towns for seeds. Wiley had many castles and watch towers built as part of his Kingdom of Acme, but few survive today.

Night fishing off Hasno Pier is kinda fun. You aint gonna catch nothing, but it’s a great place to hang out with your friends. Sure beats hanging out with your enemies!

You could of course enjoy a day of fun on the beach just hanging out on the golden sand, The humid, temperate, continental climate is comfortable most of the year.

The Schulmalecón is lined with high-rise hotels and residences. They all have a great sea view and correspondingly high rents!

The lighthouse on Ugottagood Point is helpful for the night hang gliding group. Not sure how they would do it without the light… they’d have to have everyone in town leave their fridges open I suppose…

The distinctive DQ Twistycone Hotel has a great view of the Great Tower of Wiley. The triangular shapes of the twin condo buildings have a similarly impressive view. Can you tell which one is Buggs Tower and which is Elmer Tower?

Like any Sim, residents of Little Princeville love their plumbobs. This one cats its errie, yet alluring, green glow across the Schulmalecón.

The eastern end of the Schulmalecón is the urban growth boundary, where Little Princeville makes an abrupt halt. Preserving cast tracts of open space results in a shockingly high population density.

What a busy place! It's quite a bit different from what I remember from the old game, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

Also, hm, Davy Jones Tours? They wouldn't happen to be three hour tours, would they??? I might just stick with Cap'n Kirk's. There wouldn't happen to be Kadis-Kots there, would they? Or maybe 3D chess? I need to get a few more games in...

SCBI is on my phone... gives me a chance to do a little sim when I get the chance. It's no SC4, but it's actually improving. I was going to say something about the 3 hour tours...

I'll challenge you to a game of 3D chess...loser pays for a round at Quark's!

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..." :lol:

I have played SimCity Build It, but it has been at least 3 or 4 years. I got into other things at the time and I didn't always have time to check it out each day. I ended up backing up the data and uninstalling it. Hopefully my city still exists in a backup!

The game had potential, and while it was fun at times (great time waster), it wasn't much of a city simulator at all. It was another freemium game and that alone kinda ruined it for me. I don't want to pay to "win" or to get special buildings and the like. It was targeted for a new generation of players and a different demographic in general. When I first saw and read about it (it was launch day or a few days after), I was hoping that it would be another SimCity game for mobile. Well, it sort of was. It was not at all what I was expecting and had hoped for: a nice, proper SimCity (I grew up with SimCity 2000 and SimCity 4). It was still fun in a way, though. It is unique for sure!

The one mobile SimCity game that I actually loved and spent a fair amount of time on was SimCity Deluxe - a unique version of SimCity 3000 (essentially) but trimmed down. It used a lot of SimCity 4's assets (some of the soundtrack as well) along with some of SC3K's stuff. Nowadays, you can't get the game anymore due to EA taking it down from the Apple's App Store and Google Play. I haven't played it in quite sometime. It seems to have been a forgotten game and app in general.

 

Anyways (I tend to ramble, haha), after seeing this post and reading about new updates here and there, I may give the game another chance out of curiosity. It was a fun time waster and it did have some neat things here and there. I enjoyed your post!

SCHI is certainly no SC4. But, it does let me keep in the SimCity spirit without a huge commitment. It is limited in many ways, but they have added some things to keep me engaged... luckily, right about when I thought I had seen and done all it had to offer. It has six little geographic regions now and they have added some landscape features and some different styles of housing. It doesn't have commercial or real industrial buildings, nor does it have demand for such. I did try out SC Deluxe back in the day, but it was frustrating because of its limitations. SCBI is easy game play- too easy. All you do is expand and build. All things being equal, I would rather have a new-for-2021 version of SC4. But, if you haven't tried it in a while, give it a try and see if you agree that it has improved somewhat.

I had no idea that this is where so much of SC4's roots are.  would be nice to see more of these buildings converted directly to SC4 especially the names you gave them

SCBI does its own thing as it is a very simple version - more game than simulator. But, it still has some of the quirky things we all like about SimCity... including Dr. Vu and llamas...  but I do wish they had more fun names for stuff too. When I do these I like to make it a little more creative. I am glad you like it.
